Gigaton: Official album thread

[PHATJ]

Yield83 is a narc

Lol

[FlatSideofaDog]

One of these days some of you guys have to get me up to speed on your producer-y knob twiddling technical observations. I just do not get them at all. "They turned one of those hundred knobs on the mixing board thingy the wrong way! This song sucks bc of that! The band has lost it bc they turned that little knob thingy the wrong way! They're phoning it in!" LOL.....

I feel like it should be pretty clear listening to LB and Gigaton back to back. And im not talking about quality of song/songwriting.

A few knobs were definitely turned the wrong way over the course of LB the song.

[PHATJ]

Does anyone have a link to the album? PhatJ said it was amazing and directed me here as his link expired? Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks!!

Somebody help this guy out.

Was anyone able to send an active link?

What’s stopping you from sending your friend the link?

My link wasn’t active anymore. And he isn’t necessarily my friend, he just reached out to me today. He got the link thanks to a kind RMer.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Hmm, interesting spike in dick pics via PMs just then.

I think Billy Squire was a huge unconscious inspiration for this album. I mean sonically not lyrically. I feel like when you put. KISS Springsteen Iron Maiden Petty Woody Guthrie The Who Clash Michael Jackson and Ufo in a blender you get Billy Squire or 30 year old Pearl Jam

[BurtReynolds]

When hearing new music from them, I ask myself "would I be listening to this shit if it wasn't from Pearl Jam?" Over the last 15 years, the answer has been an emphatic "lol fuck no", but I think this one mostly passes the test, even though I don't listen to this type of thing as much anymore.

"would I be kissing this wife if it wasn't my wife?"

[darthvedder81]

It's early days yet, but, looking to future days, who thinks any of these new songs will settle into their top 25? Top 20? Top 10?

Quick Escape is already in there. I think Who Ever Said has a shot at top #25 also. It’s a great opener and despite it being somewhat of a typical Eddie song you can really hear each band members contributions (Stone’s weird counter melodies, Mike’s blistering fills and solo, Matt’s best Keith Moon impression and Jeff Ament’s bass riffage).

[Tsuga]

I'm fairly surprised at how many different songs have ended up stuck in my head over the past few days, and not ones I would expect. "Take the Long Way," "Comes Then Goes," and today, "Retrograde." I've woken up with "Superblood" kicking around in there too.

Lol. That’s gold.

Was thinking about this earlier...Binaural was the last Pearl Jam album for me that had more than one 5* songs. Since then its been max 1 top shelf song per album (LB had none). I legitimately think this new album has three 5* songs on it.

I keep hearing Never Destination in my head, and it’s not even a top three song for me. Some catchy choruses.

[Tsuga]

Yeah, that's the thing--my favorites right now are "Quick Escape" and "Alright," but others are creeping up for sure. Hooks!
